European Multicentre Tics in Children Studies (EMTICS)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2017,

This project will undertake pre-clinical and cohort studies that address susceptibility factors for paediatric and adolescent tic disorders, with a particular focus on comorbid obsessive-compulsive symptomatology, from clinical, epidemiological, genetic, microbiological and immunological angles. EMTICS aims to elucidate the complex aetiology of the onset and clinical course of chronic tic disorder ...

Accelerated Metallurgy - the accelerated discovery of alloy formulations using combinatorial principles (AccMet)

Start date: Jun 15, 2011, End date: Jun 14, 2016,

"The core concept of Accelerated Metallurgy is to deliver an integrated pilot-scale facility for the combinatorial synthesis and testing of many thousands of unexplored alloy formulations. This facility would be the first of its kind in the world and would represent a significant advance for metallurgy. The novel technology that enables this HTT facility is based on automated, direct laser deposit ...

COaxially Laser Assisted cold spray (COLA)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2014,

Aeroengine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) is a critical industry for Europe. The EU has a 47% stake in this market worth €13 billion globally now, and rising to €21 billion by 2020. As airlines now lease engines, manufacturers and their suppliers are responsible for the engine, not only during production, but throughout service. Consequently, maximising utilisation, via cost effective, hig ...

High Productivity Electron Beam Melting Additive Manufacturing Development for the Part Production Systems Market (FastEBM)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

Electron beam melting additive manufacture is used to produce successive layers of a part in a powder bed and offers the ability to produce components closest to their final dimensions, with good surface finish. At this time the process is faster than any other technique of comparable quality, however the parts are not produced at sufficient rate to make them economically viable for any but very h ...

Intelligent Manufacture from Powder by Advanced Laser Assimilation (IMPALA)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

IMPALA will develop flexible and efficient Rapid Manufacturing processes of custom parts or small batches. SME end users will be at the forefront of this project, helping them increase their annual turnover by 20-50%, by producing a diversified range of high value components. Currently, manufacturing custom products such as artificial teeth can take several days or weeks and is very expensive. Thi ...
